The FsFrance SMB2 Team consists of: Pierre Marchadier for the design using Gmax Jean-Pierre Langer for the panel Benoît Dubé and Jean-Pierre Bourgeois for the flight dynamics Gilles Mercier for the textures and paint kit

For the textures Gilles has decided to concentrate on Armée de l'Air units.  Only three "Escadres" (Wings) used the SMB2; the 5th Escadre, the 10th Escadre, and the 12th Escadre.  So far Gilles has completed schemes for the following Escadron (EC) or squadrons: EC 1/5 "Vendée" in bare metal scheme EC 1/10 "Valois" in bare metal and camo schemes EC 1/12 "Cambresis" in bare metal, camo, dark camo, American camo, and Tigermeet schemes ...

... EC 2/5 "Ile de France" in bare metal scheme EC 2/10 "Seine" in bare metal scheme EC 2/12 "Cornouaille" in bare metal, camo, and dark camo schemes EPNER (French Air Academy) in bare metal scheme Lt Laverdure scheme (just for fun, after the comic book series) There will be a paint kit for future repainters to do export schemes such as Israel.

There are four models and all the texture sets will use them except the EPNER version which was an unarmed plane.  The external configurations are: Clean Tanks Tanks with Sidewinders Tanks with Matra missiles Other possible configurations may include Clean with Sidewinder, Clean with Matra missiles, and there may also be a version with bombs.
